Can you promote in r/bigseo?

Welcome! This subreddit was created with the intent to foster growth and knowledge about SEO. This is the largest and most reputable SEO subreddit run by professional SEOs on Reddit. We encourage you check the sidebar and rules before posting. See our full rules at https://www.reddit.com/r/bigseo/wiki/rules.

The short answer

Do not promote your product or recruit customers; instead contribute useful, non-commercial answers and build karma before posting—if you must engage, keep it purely informational and avoid mentioning your company or links.

What works here

  • Answer topical SEO questions with helpful, non-promotional content
  • Share case studies or learnings only if not solicitous or selling
  • Participate and build account karma (1 day old + 3 comment karma to post without manual approval)

What gets posts removed

  • Posting product pitches, service offers, or soliciting clients
  • Sharing affiliate links, beta tests, 'free tools', or asking users to DM you
  • Posting headline-only or low-effort promotional content

Where this comes from

View the current official rules on Reddit

Sales / self-promotion prohibited

Rule 5 explicitly bans offers of services, self-promotion, prospecting, 'free tools' or beta tests and says 'DM me for a link' is not allowed.

Spam definition and moderation thresholds

Sidebar defines spam as 'self-marketing orientated content' and requires accounts be >1 day old with ≥3 comment karma; new posters are manually approved.

Community focus on professional, useful content

Public description and sidebar emphasize professional SEO discussion, case-studies and valuable contributions rather than promotions.

Low-quality / blog-spam removal

Rules remove low-quality posts or blog spam that offer no value to professionals—commercial posts likely fall under this.
